St Louis Rams OC Frank Cignetti: "Tavon Austin's had a great off-season"

St Louis Rams offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti believes that wide receiver Tavon Austin has had an extremely impressive off-season.

The 24-year-old has struggled to make an impact in his first two seasons in the NFL after he was selected with the eighth-overall pick in the 2013 Draft.

However, Cignetti is confident that Austin will be able to finally display his true quality in the 2015 campaign off the back of his hard work in the off-season.

"Tavon Austin's had a great off-season," Cignetti told reporters. "It starts in the classroom. He's learning. He's paying attention. He's bringing it to the practice field.

"You just see it from his route running. What a difference. His effort, his attention to details. Every day out there, the guy's made plays."

Austin has recorded 1,035 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns in his two seasons in the NFL.
